The only wireless headphones I'd spend money on are the xdream system or the Amphony system. Alternatively, Koss just came out with a wireless system that lets you use your own favorite headphone -- worth considering.

Quote: Originally posted by insomniac MacDEF, do you think you could explain the difference in sound between the ipod and the zen xtra? I personally find the iPod to be a bit more accurate; i.e., flatter. The Zen was a bit more "exciting" in that it had a bit of emphasis at certain...

It's debatable. The Zen and the iPod, IMO, have the best sound of all the players. I personally prefer the iPod's sound, but I can see why someone might prefer the Zen. Both are clearly better than the rest, from my experience.

I bookmarked the following article while reading about iPod accessories on the same site: http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=07479 Unfortunately, the site isn't responding right now, but if I remember correctly it was a headphone guide for iPods and computers.

Quote: Originally posted by Rizumu Finally, someone who agrees with me. The PX200's design is great, they work perfectly for portable, and yet the sound is so blah. It's really too bad. That was a disappointment to be sure. You must not have gotten a good seal. (Seriously!) Before...

Quote: Originally posted by Geek DT880: Slightly deeper bass, less bass bump at 100hz. Slightly more upper midrange, treble is one notch louder. Sound could be described as just a hair "drier" than the HD600, but it's more up-front. Agreed, except for the "slightly deeper bass." To...

BTW, if you do a search, there have been at least three or four other threads like this over the past couple years

Ari, I understand your position, but you have to keep in mind that most informed audio people take such Bose announcements with a big grain of salt. After all, most of Bose's big announcements of "technological innovations" tend to be little more than snake oil pitches
